He's in a tough spot for sure. The team certainly has built some great chemistry and everybody has slid into their roles and bought in. Making a move could certainly disrupt a lot.

However, this team clearly needs a legit center who can defend and rebound. While the winning streak is nice the celtics have been POUNDED in the paint and have an obvious hole.

Now, even if you want to make a trade, who do you move? If you trade Bass for a center now you have to start KG at PF? If you move a guard (say Terry or Lee) now you are one injury away from being in real trouble.

I still think in the end, his options are just too limited and he stays put and searches the buy-out list

All players are playing to their potential now. With Rondo, it seemed we were getting about 75% of their respective talent from the role players. Now everyone (especially the guards) are getting regular touches and free to play how they have their entire careers.

I think Ainge has to let this group fight this one out, they've earned it. No real fan can be mad at him standing pat with all they've shown us these last two weeks.

If anything I think Danny's job got a bit easier because trade value of the guys are rising up. Sure it might disrupt chemistry but we still have a glaring need for a big dude, and this is a "strike while its hot" thing.
